Pot Size

An architectural evergreen olive with silvery grey-green foliage and classic Mediterranean character. Suited to feature pots, entry statements, soft screening and avenues in Brisbane’s warm climate.

Spring blossoms attract pollinators; ornamental fruit follows in warm spots. In warm SEQ, treat primarily as an ornamental (fruiting can be variable); best performance in full sun and freely draining soils.

Origin: Mediterranean region
Attracts: Birds & pollinators 

Plant Guide

What to use me for: Feature tree, large pots, soft screening, avenues in Mediterranean/coastal styles.

I grow to: Usually 6–8 m tall × 4–6 m wide; can be maintained 3–4 m with pruning; smaller in containers.

Features: Narrow grey-green leaves, silvery undersides; small white spring flowers; edible olives; ages with handsome branching.

Plant Care

Where to place me: Full sun with good airflow; warm, dry, coastal aspects are ideal.

How far to space me: 3–5 m centres for groves/screens (closer = denser).

Soil Conditions: Needs free-draining soil; avoid waterlogging. Raise/mound if heavy. Mulch; keep trunk clear.

Extra-Care: Low water once established; deep soaks in extended heat. Light annual prune after fruiting/flowering. Feed in spring with slow-release fertiliser.
